i have a 300D, which is more or less the same machine, just a few years older, and less megapixel, less options, etc etc....i like it, and it does everything i want it to do, and more. Unless you're a real pro, you'll have more than enough.
some photographer won the press foto of the year with that machine sometime in 2004...so i think it is good enough for us all
stay with the kit lense for now, and concentrate on exploring the camera first
